Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs (1.4 kg) apples, cored & chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

  • Combine apples, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and 2 fl oz. (60ml) water in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the apples into applesauce, or mash with a fork for a chunkier texture.

  • Once thick, transfer to a glass jar. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
